Like a Sailor, Inked For the Very First Time
Tuesday, June 30th, 2009
Freshly posted on uwishunu.com – my piece on “Skin and Bones: Tattoos in the Life of the American Sailor.” Now you have the perfect excuse to visit the Independence Seaport Museum and indulge your love of all things maritime-related.
Philly’s a tattoo, town, all right. Just throw a rock (or a can of PBR) and you’ll probably end up bruising someone who’s sporting ink. It’s only fitting, then, that the Independence Seaport Museum is hosting “Skin & Bones: Tattoos in the Life of the American Sailor,” an exciting exhibit that examines the tradition of tattoos among the seafaring Americans who introduced skin art culture to the masses.
